In a new paper, scientists warn that climate systems tipping points could set off a chain reaction to put Earth on a hothouse trajectory. Is anyone listening to unpleasant truths? Or do most prefer 'pleasant lies' as @steurer.bsky.social suggests?

When are we going to start calling it "pro-pollution policies" or "climate-destroying and health-damaging policies" instead of rollbacks, etc?

Even now, an incredible number of academic, journalism, & Democratic Party folks are showing us their revealed preferences for staying at the Nazi Bar 🤷♂️😬
This video shows 30 ex-WaPo journalists who are all still primarily using a MechaHitler site run by a billionaire who wants to crush them and their whole worlds.
Bezos is as bad if not worse. The layoffs are terrible for all of us. But staying on Twitter helps their enemies.
Do they not see that?
